Loved the elbowing between Zarco and Aegerter, reminded me of Bayliss and Edwards at Monza in 2001.

What in Christ's name was Rins thinking of??!! Very uncharacteristic.

What Lowes has achieved this year on that pile of junk has been admirable. thank fucl he's off to Uncle Fausto next year. I'm amazed at the huge gash that a shattered piece of carbon was capable of gouging out of the tyre. Never seen that before.

Can't turn up the speakers too much (I'm at work), but that sounds like the brilliant Leigh Diffey who provided the BBC commentary alongside Parrish and Octogan feed for WSBk. When he left for Speed the BBC hired Cox as a replacement hoping no one would notice!!

I loved WSB Monza - always brilliant racing.

I hope Austin's not lurking. He's highly likely to ejaculate over his laptop at the sight of BBoz in L&M livery.

Yeah, the memory can be fallacious, haven't seen that for nearly a decade and a half though. Incredible racing, and in my opinion 2001 and 2002 - in spite of the clear advantage that the ruling gave the twins, but before the exodus of the Japanese in line 4s - that period was the absolute peak of the series. Edwards, Bayliss, Xuas, Bostrum, Haga, Hodgson, Corser - great stuff.

Christ, in an era of primitive or little to no electronics, the Parabolica was fearsome on those things.
